No problem. That's what this list is for.
On the other hand, a very quick ckeck of Deja or the mailing list

Yes. But it depends on what you're running (in terms of window
manager/environments). This always works: at an xterm prompt (or
equivalent) su to root and type
reboot
or perhaps
halt
depending on what you're doing.
You can use the sudo package to enable your ordinary user account to
run those programs, too.
